Accused of murdering a man the Southron tribes believes to be their messiah, but who is actually
the slayer of Del's family, Tiger and Del flee across the deadly Punja desert, hunted by religious
zealots and sword-dancer assassins. But each evading death by assassins' blades is only one of the
challenges they face. For Tiger's sword, Samiel, has been possessed by the spirit of the deadly
sorcerer, Chosa Dei - a wizard out of legend with the power to unmake the entire world, a master
of evil who seeks to mold Tiger into his ultimate weapon of destruction.
Tiger and Del have only one hope left - to find and gain help of Chosa Dei's equally powerful
counterpart and sworn enemy, Shaka Obre. But Shaka Obre has not been seen in the world for
hundreds of years, and it may be beyond even the combined magical abilities of Tiger and Del to
find this wizard who is their only chance for salvation....
